Product Description: The Yakima Top Tube Frame Adaptor connects easily between a bike's seat post and handlebars. This allows much easier loading and transporting of bicycles that don't have a top tube frame that runs straight between the handlebars and seat post. Many rear hitch mount bike racks require this feature while the trunk mounted bike racks are simply easier to use for top tubeless bikes that have the Yakima Top Tube Adaptor attached.
Amazon.com Product Description: Does your bike's top tube prevent you from mounting your bike properly on your rear hitch rack? Turn to the Yakima TubeTop adapter, which keeps your bike mounted solidly on single or dual mast mounts. The adapter installs directly on your bike, with one molded collar attaching to your bike stem and the other to the seat post. Once installed, the adapter's large diameter tubing and anti-rotation inserts will sit sturdily on your vehicle's hitch rack, letting you tote everything from women's frames to dual-suspension bikes.

This is a great item but my mountian bike has a lefty fork and it didn't fit as designed for my bike. I made a tool that allows the proper use of this rack adapter. Yakima should indicate which bikes it won't ... Read More

Nifty Gadget. I didn't know it was on the market until the new girl I'm dating introduced me to it. The Frame Adapters make transporting our trail bikes a lot easier and it improves our view out the rear window ... Read More
